Hmmm, some misinformation here...

The first year for the Mach1 was 69'

And I love this:

While technically correct (I 'spose)... the key fact that's missing here is the fact that "The boss 302 heads are in fact normal 351C 4V cyln heads".

It'd make better sence to say "The 1971 Boss 351 was a 351C with 351C-4V cyln heads". Or in other words "The 1971 Boss 351 is just a regular 351C-4V motor".

Here's some facts for ya:
1) The 351W was only available in a mustang from the years of 69-73
2) The 351C was only available in a mustang from the years of 70-73.
3) A Boss 302 engine is basically a regular 302 block with 351C-4V cyln heads(and required hardware).
4) A Boss 351 engine is a regular 351C-4V engine.
5) In '73 the biggest engine you could get in your mustang was a 351C.

Don't know much about the Boss 429's, cept it's my dream mustang.

I believe that in '74, you couldn't buy a mustang with a V8 (I think the Cobra II's came out in '75)

Here's a pic of my '70 Grande with 351W
